LEED Certification - Important Lessons Learned
Please join URS for a live webinar presenting an overview of the evolution of the LEED methodology in recent years.
Learn how the transition from v2.2 to v3 has the potential to impact your standard project design and cost assumptions in practice. We will compare and contrast v2.2 and v3 requirements and discuss the implications of the revisions.
With almost 200 USGBC-registered projects since 1.0 pilot and 2.0 versions, URS's project teams and sustainability experts have gained significant experience with the LEED rating and documentation systems.
This presentation discusses lessons learnt critical to successful LEED certification, including: Starting early; Ensuring thorough documentation and specification; Persistently tracking progress throughout design and construction.
As a result of this presentation you will be able to:
- Describe the main differences between LEED-NC v2.2 and v3 (BD+C)
- Alert project teams of discipline-relevant changes
- Target common implementation pitfalls in practice
